Fathers 4 Justice, Now On The Fen

Fathers 4 Justice, the costume-wearing, irrational publicity-stunt-pulling UK advocacy "group" comprised largely of one bloke who, surprise surprise, has been denied custody of his kid, has set up shop in Scotland. On the roof of the Scottish Parliament. In Santa Claus outfits.

These dads' stated goal for their antics is for their kids to see them on TV and say, "Hey, that's me dad!" One secondary benefit: it gives their kids' classmates something to chant while they deliver unrelenting playground pummelings.
